Atmospheric internal gravity waves are wave disturbances whose restoration force is buoyancy under stable stratification of the atmosphere. They are commonly observed in the stratosphere of most planets as oscillations on the temperature field and they have also been observed as wavy structures in cloud fields of the Earth, Jupiter and Venus [1-3]. From their properties one can infer the static stability of the atmosphere (since these waves can only propagate in regions where the static stability is positive) and they are responsible of a number of important dynamical phenomena including the transfer of energy and momentum vertically. They are of particular importance to the atmosphere of Venus, where they have been proposed as one key factor powering the super-rotation of the atmosphere.
